Bleeding Issues During Thrombolysis for Acute Leg Ischaemia
When we started testing catheter directed low dose thrombolysis (CDT) for acute leg ischaemia (ALI) in the 1980s, it was the first time endovascular intervention advanced beyond simple balloon angioplasty. In many respects, CDT kick started the endovascular revolution. Clots could be removed without surgery, and from arteries too small for embolectomy catheters to reach. But there was a price to pay: thrombolytic drugs caused bleeding, mainly from catheter puncture sites, but also from distant areas, such as haemorrhagic stroke.
